The Holy Green Republic of Provisional Irish Republican Army is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sir Keith with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.03 billion Provisional Irish Republican Armyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dublin. The average income tax rate is 5.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Provisional Irish Republican Armyian economy, worth a remarkable 6,654 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 302,059 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners write "made in Provisional Irish Republican Army" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out, the government snoops on private internet connections, cities in Provisional Irish Republican Army declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, and schoolchildren are divided over Sir Keith's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Provisional Irish Republican Army's national animal is the irish wolfhound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Provisional Irish Republican Army is ranked 288,409^th in the world and 114^th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Primitive, scoring -560.42 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
